The correct Answer is:
To determine the angle between the lines given by the equations \(2x - y + 3 = 0\) and \(x + y - 2 = 0\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the slopes of the lines First, we need to rewrite both equations in the slope-intercept form \(y = mx + c\), where \(m\) is the slope. 1. For the first equation \(2x - y + 3 = 0\): \[ -y = -2x - 3 \implies y = 2x + 3 \] Thus, the slope \(m_1 = 2\). 2. For the second equation \(x + y - 2 = 0\): \[ y = -x + 2 \] Thus, the slope \(m_2 = -1\). ### Step 2: Use the formula for the angle between two lines The angle \(\theta\) between two lines can be calculated using the formula: \[ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2} \right| \] ### Step 3: Substitute the slopes into the formula Substituting the values of \(m_1\) and \(m_2\): \[ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{2 - (-1)}{1 + 2 \cdot (-1)} \right| \] This simplifies to: \[ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{2 + 1}{1 - 2} \right| = \left| \frac{3}{-1} \right| = 3 \] ### Step 4: Find the angle \(\theta\) Now, we can find \(\theta\) using the inverse tangent function: \[ \theta = \tan^{-1}(3) \] ### Conclusion Thus, the angle between the two lines is: \[ \theta = \tan^{-1}(3) \]
